Issue - meetings

The first main item on the agenda is Declarations of Interest where Councillors have to say if there is anything on the agenda they have a personal interest in. For example if a meeting was due to discuss a budget application put forward by a community group and one of the Councillors was a member of that group, they would not be able to take part in the decision on that budget application.

Members are asked to declare any interests they may have in the business to be discussed.

Councillor Chaplin disclosed an Other Disclosable Interest, as she had asked Jasmine Sore to make the cakes on sale at the meeting in aid of the Lord Mayor’s chosen charity, MacMillan Cancer. Councillor Chaplin said she hoped to raise £20 from the evening sales towards the charity. The sale actually raised £85.00.

The Chair then read a letter from the Lord Mayor, Councillor Kamal thanking ward residents for support given to the charity.

The letter also contained the Lord Mayor’s thanks to Mike Keen, Democratic Support Officer, for his valued support over the years, his work with the Stoneygate Ward Community Meetings, and best wishes for his retirement.
